    Effects of Calmodulin Inhibitors on the Cellular Metabolism of 45Ca and 210Pb

    Many Ca++-mediated cell processes depend on the intracellular Ca++ receptor protein, calmodulin, to exert regulatory effects on target metabolic and physiological pathways. In many cells, Ca++ transport mechanism...
